The wagon-house makes a poor hen

The smell of the barn is all right in
the barn, but do not take more "fit into
the house than is unavoidable.
When YOU want to take out IL broken
w~indow-pane, heat the poker, RIM it
slowly along the old putty and soften it
loose.
Do not let the heifcrs form the habit
of drying up as o o as cold weather be-
gins. With plenty of food the heifrr
will give milk nearly the wear rolnld.
The more fowls are pamperrl and
stimulated with warm and highly sea-
s)ned food, the more carefully must they
be housed and nursed to kcepthem from
cold and inclement weather.
Let sick or MANNED animals lie still.
Do not torture them by trying to get
them up. Rub their limbs every day
and keep a soft bed under them. They
will get up when they are able.
1t is Of the utmost Importance that the
poultry house be kept dry. If snow that
falls on the roof is likely to melt and
drip through, shovel off. A shower bath
of snow water means roup and death
later on.
After starching the bosom, wristbands

The competition in farming is inuuth

be forgiven TO hin who keeps good
horses and COWS and other farm stock.
But If these are poor a farmer can harlly

taking the first step towards prosperity.
Keep only what you can afford to feed
